The AFC South is 'going to be a dogfight' in 2018

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Since its inception in 2002, the AFC South has not exactly earned a reputation as a tough division.

Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts ruled the first nine seasons, winning seven division titles and making the playoffs nine times while the other three teams combined to reach the playoffs just six times.

Things have been a little more equal over the past seven seasons, but even so, the division has still been regarded as one of the weakest in the NFL, especially since there have been two teams that finished with five or fewer victories five times.
